Re: Default value of top-margin setting

Hello Paolo, the default value for top-margin is set in ly/paper-defaults-init.ly Currently this is 10mm scaled to the selected paper size (so for the default paper size (A4) this is 10mm, for other sizes this is scaled accodingly). Cheers, Valentin Am Montag, 20. Februar 2023, 22:30:51 CET

Thank you Xavier. I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong, though. If I put top-system-spacing in the paper block and give it any value at all, it actually reduces the space on the subsequent pages between the top of the page and the first system. I even tried setting it to #1000 but got

In formatting a multi-page score in which I only want the header on the first page and am happy with the margins and header on the first page, how can I go about increasing the space between the top of the page and the first system on the subsequent (2nd, 3rd, etc.) pages?

option is to break the four staves on the page into two and throw a new page. This upsets the pagination of the work as I have to fit in with hand written fair copy further down the MS as well, for logistical reasons of time at the moment. I could reduce the top margin for the whole score and position

Re: Top margin

After a few hours of experiments (and re-reading the docs) I have arrived at a solution: It turns that the header (and footers I guess) is always vertically positioned according to the top-margin setting. So setting the top-margin will determine the space between the top edge of the page

Top margin

east on facing pages. But apparently, this kind of constraint is not really possible with lilypond. Experimenting a bit with setting top-margin, I noticed that this setting determines the distance from the top edge of the page to the stave's "skyline", and this assuming the header markup is turned
